These drones had Denver area defense contractor written all over them. I would guess Lockheed or Raytheon or Boulder based lab or company. They would not coordinate because 1. every project they do is classified 2. probably is some sort of mass surveillance tech that they would rather not advertise 3. Probably not sponsored directly by the military or deemed a weapons system, so no need to go through the hassle of testing on a military range (lets just drive a few hours outside town). 4. Didn't want to go through the hassle of dealing with the FAA and know that if the FAA seriously got involved they could just pull strings. 5. Don't care if they bother a few farmers and consider most of the area to be "empty"

Clearly the drones stopped because it was a limited term contract.
